ANExCITING EXPERIENCE.
Encounter With a Rattlesnake at
 TalcOtt Mountain.

Encounter With Rattlesnake at
 TalcOtt Mountain.
 HARTFORD, Aug. 15.-About the base of stthe Pinnacle,n mass of broken trap rock on Talcott Mountain off to the south of the Albany turnpike and about ten miles west of this city, rattlesnakes are still found occa- sionally. A couple of miles east, down the wooded slope in the neighborhood of reser- voir No. 8 and along the abrupt rocky wall which forms the west boundary of that noun tain lake, these dreaded serpents are still sometimes met with-one was killed there week before last-the first one this year; but it is west of that neighb orhood and up on the rocky upper slopes, mile or so north of the reservoir main road crossing to Avon, that these creatures used to be found often CT. They are diminishing now in numbers, but one was encountered last Wednesday by a man at work moving bushes with bush scythe. Not knowing the true character of it coiled in act to give battle, and pinned it down with his scythe. At that moment his dog, huge English mas tiff, dashed in and seized the snake as it lay pinned down and the snake struck at him, but by lightning-like movement the dog saved himself, the snakes jaws just missing him. By this time the man began to realize the true character of the struggling monster he was holding down at arms length with his scythe and tried to keep the dog away, but the dog was bound to take hand in that entertainment and went in again. This time he was not so lucky; the snake succeed ed in striking him near the mouth. The man managed to kill the snake and found he had fourteen rattles and was nearly four feet long-a formidable fellow. Then, to save the dog he went for doctor, who for the first thing injected ammonia into the bite. Then the two men succeeded in fore ing into the dogs stomach about pint of whisky.
 This treatment saved the dog. It was nearly two hours after the bite before the doctor got at the dog, yet that ammonia was probably as important in saving the animals life as the unaccustomed and big dose of whisky. At any rate the dog was alive yes terday and apparently all right. It would have been a probably fatal bite if it had been inflicted on the man under the circum- stances.

Young Woman Found Dead in Bed
 in Merfden HOtel-A General Desire
 to Hush the Matter Up.
 MERIDEN, Aug. 15.-On Tuesday of last week young lady giving the name of Clara Porter arrived in Meriden from Hebron and took quarters at the City Hotel. She ap- peared to have a number of acquaintances and went out some. She was suddenly taken i'll with sore throat and Dr. Hughes was summoned. Last night the doctor left some pills and she retired. This morning at 6:30 she was found in bed dead. The doctor was called and pronounced her trouble of 8 diph- theretic nature. Her eyes were nat urally closed and she had evidently quietly passed away in her sleep. She was aged twenty two years and lived in South Manchester. Her parents were notified. The dead girls sister was expected this afternoon. The doc tor pronounces the death from diphtheria and the body will be buried in town at once. There appears to be general desire on the part of the hotel attaches, doctor and under taker to keep the matter hushed up-to keep anyone from knowing anything about it.

rIisgWided PrefndIce.

The manager of the Drew line of Hudson river boats refused to rent stateroom to Rev. A. P. Miller, so1ored clergyman of
 New Haven, although they were willing to sell him and his family berths in the lower cabin. This is case where prejudice against color worked in queer way. If Mir. Miller
 and his family had occupied stateroom they would be removed from any contact whatever with fastidious white persons, whereas if they were.to occupy berths they would be much more in contact with other
 people. But there is no accounting for the
 direction prejudice will take.-Hartford

 Comrades: This nineteenth annual gath ering should be a reunion not only of the | survivors of the regiment, but of their fam, ! flies and friends, those, in fact, who are deal | to us and who with us would have the mem ! ory of the old Twenty-seventh kept fresh and \ green for years to come. It is just quar- | ter of century ago that our regiment marched into camp. Let us this year cele. brate the event by such a gathering of sur vivors as we have never known. Should the weather be stormy, the meet 1 ing of the regimental association will be held in the State House. D. s. THOMAS, President 27th O.. V. Association. EDWARD G. MANSFIELD, Secretary

ENTRRPRIsING UNCLE HORACE

Horace Chapman, of Willimantic, has pur- chased the lot west of Franklin building in that place of R. w. Hooper. The price paid was $5, 900. Uncle Horace intends to have "Board of Trade" of his own, and he will be president, secretary, treasurer and general fnancier. On this lot he will erect a brick structure and carry that and the building occupied by T. R. Congdon up even with his three-story building occupied by Arnold 6 Chapman's grain business. The whole will be four stories high in the rear. This will give the ex-mayor brick block with an eighty-eight feet front on Main street and seventy feet in depth, with driveway expensive investment for Uncle Horace, but in the long run he will not regret the under taking. If Willimantic had about dozen such enterprising citizens as this one what a change would be made in few years.-Hart. ford Times.

VERY TRUE.

A defect quite noticeable in some of the country weekly newspapers is their neglect to publish births, marriages and deaths. Unquestionably these are interesting as neighborhood news, and more especially to those subscribers at distance who take a paper to learn of the doings and welfare of old friends and acquaintances, and who must, naturally, care more for such informa- tion than to be informed that Smith has whitewashed his fence, or that Browns lot is over-run with potato bugs. That COW has been choked by an apple, or sheep has been killed by dogs is certain to find it's way into print; while the death of a person, un- less of unusual prominence in the village, receives no notice whatever. It is to be pres sumed that the editors of the rural papers are competent judges of what their readers require, yet these omissions do not appear to us to be "good journalism. ."-Hartford Times
